Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After all, most of the power is now in his own hands, with only a small part left with his grandfather.

However, after thinking for a while, he nodded. No matter what, he should not cause trouble for his grandfather anymore.

When Sun Xingzhi saw Li Junze nod, he agreed and was about to go out to the Bachelor's Mansion. At this time, someone outside came to report that Gu Qiongsi came to the mansion to ask to see Li Junze.

Then Gu Qiongsi was brought in. This was the first time that Li Junze saw a look of panic on Gu Qiongsi.

"Your Highness, have you heard all the news circulating outside? It's about the imperial examination cheating case." Gu Qiongsi came in and even forgot to greet him. He asked in panic.

She also heard about it from a few neighbors today when they were chatting. Later, she went to Louwailou to inquire and found that this was the hottest news of the day and had been widely circulated.

So she rushed over without delay, wanting to discuss a solution together.

"Don't panic, Si'er. I've already heard it. I'm asking someone to find out whether the news is true." Li Junze said to Gu Qiongsi soothingly.

In fact, he was also panicking in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"No, no, there's no need to ask whether it's true or not. This thing must be true." Gu Qiongsi said quickly.

"Hu Er would definitely not tell this matter unless he had no other choice. If he didn't say anything, Yan Nangui would not think of the scientific examination even if he racked his brains. It must have come from Hu Er's mouth."

After she reminded him, Li Junze remembered that the reason Hu Er was arrested was for something else and it had nothing to do with this matter in any way.

"Could it be that Yan Nangui used an illusion on Hu Er?" Li Junze didn't understand the effect of illusions, but he was really afraid of the illusion master from the Dali Temple.

He really deserves to be called a master of illusion. No matter how he asked people to investigate, he still didn't know what the master looked like.

Even the guards in the Dali Temple were limited to seeing the man once, only a few key people had seen him, but they refused to tell what the man looked like.

Gu Qiongsi didn't comment, but she said, "If things really come to this, what else can we do?"

She looked at Li Junze, and Li Junze looked at Sun Xingzhi.

Sun Xingzhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Kill Hu Er, and then leave a blood letter saying that he was tortured into confessing in the Dali Temple."

This method is the most common approach.

But Li Junze said, "It's not easy to go to Dali Temple to kill Hu Er, otherwise we wouldn't have failed so many times."

Sun Xingzhi reminded him, "Your Highness, you forgot that we failed before because the butler had informed us in advance. Now that the butler is gone, it is not impossible for us to succeed."

Gu Qiongsi glanced at Sun Xingzhi and felt that this person looked very unfamiliar, but since Li Junze was willing to listen to his analysis, he must be an important person.

Hearing him say this, my impression of Sun Xingzhi improved a little bit. He is brave, resourceful, and considers things carefully and thoughtfully.

"This... gentleman is right. We should act as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Dali Temple really presents the memorial to the emperor, it will be too late for us to do anything."

Gu Qiongsi urged anxiously.

Sun Xingzhi did not speak out to stop him this time. He also wanted Li Junze to listen to his advice and do something.

If Wang Zhuo knew about this, I wonder what his expression would be. Would he be disappointed with Li Junze?

Li Junze knew that Gu Qiongsi was getting a little anxious now, and he also became nervous unconsciously. After all, the imperial examination cheating case not only touched the bottom line of all the literati, but was also a capital crime.

"Okay, then let's take action again." Li Junze nodded in agreement.

Ji Ping, the housekeeper of the Bachelor's Mansion, was waiting anxiously outside the door of the reception room, pacing back and forth.

He had an urgent matter to report to Wang Zhuo, but at this moment in the reception room, Wang Zhuo was conspiring with a man in black from the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At this time, Wang Zhuo was also frowning tightly. Sitting below him was Eunuch Zhong Renhai, the head of the Imperial Household Department in the palace.

That's right, he is the most important person among the people arranged by Wang Zhuo in the palace. Although he is only in his early twenties, he is famous for his ruthlessness.

When people in the palace heard his name, their hearts would tremble, especially those palace servants who had made mistakes.

On the one hand, he helped take care of the Yuchen Palace, and on the other hand, he also kept abreast of some major actions and secrets in the palace.

The fact that he was promoted to supervisor at such a young age must have been due to Wang Zhuo's support.

"Master, this matter could be a big or small one. Please make a decision quickly. I cannot stay here for too long." Eunuch Zhong urged anxiously.

Wang Zhuo, however, told him to be patient. He always followed the principle of "dealing with urgent matters later". The more urgent the matter was, the more careful he would consider it.

When Wang Yuyan was searching the palace this time, someone found a packet of banned drugs in Yuchen Palace. The key point was that at that time he was called to the palace by Concubine Shu to give instructions, so he was not able to grasp this matter in the first place.

By the time he found out, the packet of powder had already been handed over to another supervisor, and quite a few people knew about it.

It is no longer possible to keep this matter secret.

That's why he took the risk and came here in person to ask for the next steps.

The forbidden drug was actually given to Wang Yuyan by Wang Zhuo. It was used to increase the interest between her and the emperor. Normally, only a little bit would be used and nothing would be wrong.

It will only make the emperor feel that he is very happy both physically and mentally when he is with Wang Yuyan.

A few days ago, at the Emperor's birthday banquet, Concubine Yu used this medicine to achieve the result she wanted.

However, such medicine is definitely prohibited in the palace, and using it on the emperor is especially outrageous.

I guess Concubine Yu cannot escape blame this time.

Wang Zhuo knocked slowly on the corner of the table a few times, frowning, and asked, "What did Yupin say at that time?"

Eunuch Zhong thought about it for a while, and then said, "Madam Yupin said at the time that she was suffering from a heart disease, and this was just the medicine."

"But she said she had recovered from her illness for many years, so the medicine was just left there and forgotten."

Sure enough, at such an urgent moment, Concubine Yu could only find such a lame excuse to get away with it, but this statement was really too far-fetched.
